Ufc legende georges st- pierre tilbudt at træne elon mosk til buret kamp med Mark Zuckerberg, der aldrig skete

Elon moskus, så ejeren af Twitter, accepterede Georges St- Pierre tilbud om at træne ham for hans foreslåede kamp med Facebook rival Mark Zuckerberg. St- Pierre er en af de mest dekorerede krigere i UFC historie.

På lørdag, den 42- årige tidligere mester tweeted på Elon Musk"Jeg er en stor fan af dig, og det ville være en ære at hjælpe dig og være din træningspartner for udfordringen mod Zuckerberg".

Kort efter midnat annoncerede Musk - som også havde modtaget et lignende tilbud fra Andrew Tate, den selvstilede informant, der blev anklaget for menneskehandel i Rumænien - at han var sammen med Team GSP

Med to brand emojis, han svarede på St- Pierre"Okay, lad os gøre det".

Musk, 51, first floated a “cage fight” with Zuckerberg after Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, revealed plans for a text-based social network to challenge Twitter. When Musk dared him to fight, Zuckerberg famously replied by riffing on Khabib Nurmagomedov’s iconic taunt to Conor McGregor, posting "Send mig stedet".

Working with coach Dave Camarillo, Zuckerberg had recently thrown himself into mixed martial arts and even won his first amateur Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) tournament. Musk, for his part, claimed some pedigree of his own, telling Joe Rogan he had experience in judo, taekwondo, and Kyokushin karate, and had “briefly practiced Brazilian jiu-jitsu” in his younger years.

Musk tweeted tidligt på tirsdag, at han havde "gjort en prøve session" med podcaster og BJJ praktiserende Lex Fridman, hvilket tyder på, at han var officielt begyndt uddannelse.

Fridman også delte en video af sig selv At rulle på måtterne med Zuckerberg.

"Det er inspirerende at se både Elon og Mark tage på kampsport rejse", forskeren sagde, passe på ikke at rangere den ene mod den anden.

Men ikke alle var glade. Musks mor, Maye, gjorde hendes følelser klare når Hun tweetede på Fridman."Lad være med at opmuntre denne kamp!"

"Faktisk aflyste jeg kampen. Jeg har ikke fortalt dem det endnu. Men jeg vil fortsætte med at sige, at kampen er aflyst, bare i tilfælde af..." modellen tweetedog hendes søn svarede med en latter emoji.

Hvordan showdown spillet ud

For all the celebrity coaching offers and training footage, the much-hyped cage fight never materialized. Despite St-Pierre’s involvement and UFC president Dana White’s claim that both men were “dead serious,” the plans unraveled over the following weeks. Musk floated an “epic location” in Italy — even suggesting an ancient-Rome backdrop — before saying he might need surgery on his neck and back and asking to do a casual practice round at Zuckerberg’s home.

On August 13, 2023, Zuckerberg called the whole thing off in a Threads post, declaring that Musk “isn’t serious” and that “it’s time to move on,” adding that he would rather compete against people who took the sport seriously. Musk later said the original challenge had been a joke while blaming Zuckerberg for the bout falling apart. In a February 2025 interview, Dana White confirmed the negotiations had been genuine, saying he had been in talks with the Italian government about staging the fight at the Colosseum in Rome before the deal collapsed.
